  • Q Can I use Chandler for Email?
  • For Preview

      This paragraph, at least these words, should be updated with respect to 1.0.2.

      Re http://www.diigo.com/annotated/d62b6b8ed21cf763e92d3b3b6a88f86a the expression 'Preview' was in use around April 2007.

    • Graham Perrin

      This fundamental point should be HIGHLIGHTED (not diminished in parentheses).

      I see evidence of Chandler 1.0.2 working with POP, though I don't use it in that way.
  • Add messages from your email client into special Chandler IMAP folders
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Messages moved by your IMAP client to Chandler Desktop-specific mailboxes

      … will be copied by Chandler Desktop whenever you sync Chandler Desktop.

      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Subsequent management within Chandler Desktop will not be communicated back to the IMAP server.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      After a message has been copied by Chandler Desktop, then in your IMAP client you may wish to archive (or set aside) the earlier copy, to avoid confusion.
  • What still needs to be done
  • Sync IMAP Flags and Read/Unread status
  • Unlike "regular" email, you can edit and re-send Chandler emails
  • current target screen size - 1024x768 pixels

  • One-time download of new mail from select IMAP folders

      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      My sense is that this is implemented in 1.0.2.
  • Set up IMAP server
  • allow users to move email from their existing email account to the desktop
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      In 1.0.2 I suspect that e-mail is copied (not (copied then deleted) moved).
  • provided they are on the same machine
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Can we more clearly define 'same machine'?
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      I see no requirement for IMAP client and Chandler Desktop to be on the same computer. IMAP client at computer A communicates a user-initiated move of a message to one of three Chandler Desktop-specific IMAP mailboxes. Chandler Desktop at computer B performs a one-time download from those three mailboxes.

  • One-time download of new mail from IMAP

      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      IMHO the e-mail capabilities of Chandler 1.0.2 require special explanation. Some explanations are offered within the FAQ, http://www.diigo.com/annotated/faf93764c6f6f5eb9a29268ad4b472de
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      The number and nature of the special explanations, criteria and limitations of e-mail in Chandler Desktop make me think that 'Email' its sub-headings, as currently presented in 'Get Started', should not appear in Get Started.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      I suggest leaving references, from the Get Started page, to pages that are dedicated to: (1) an overview of e-mail in Chandler Hub and Chandler Desktop, and of limited communications with IMAP and POP servers; (2) using Chandler Desktop to configure an IMAP server, and understanding the workflows (in particular, the aspects that are one-way, periodic (Chandler Desktop sync) and incremental (the effect of adding messages to a Chandler-specific mailbox that was previously synced)); (3) e-mail in Chandler Hub; (4) e-mail in Chandler Deskop.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Critically: the overview should contain no instructions on use; it should present, in pictures and in few words as possible, the current workflow and vision, plus maybe no more than one vision of the future.

  • Chandler succeeds at meeting the needs of users who are tracking ‘knowledge work’
  • Chandler is not oriented around calendaring per se or around a complicated task and project landscape with many dependencies
  • we want Chandler to be more viral. We want Chandler to be easy to explain to others. We want Chandler to be found in contexts where people are already spending time. We want Chandler to be
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • even more useful as that user pulls in other people to collaborate
  • We want happy users be successful evangelists for Chandler
  • web widgets that might be deployed in different contexts — iGoogle, Facebook, on an iPhone, etc.
  • widgets should be compelling to a new user who does not use the desktop, in addition to providing features that complement the desktop. Eventually, the widgets can be building blocks
  • misperception in the press
  • Being a CalDAV reference implementation is not a priority.
  • the Microsoft product with the most overlap with our design objectives is probably OneNote
  • web widgets (in the browser, on mobile devices and on the desktop)
  • not trying to be a GTD specific tool
  • Chandler’s philosophy is different enough from GTD that it would be misleading to call Chandler a GTD tool
  • Our best articulation of our core value to date is: Chandler is a way to manage and collaborate on ideas using: A List View built around the idea of the Triage Workflow A Calendar View Chandler Hub Sharing Service
  • the user problem we are serving is an emerging market
  • there isn’t a shared, public vocabulary to describe what we’re doing
  • Better product messaging so that people understand what ‘user problem’ we’re trying to solve and how we’re trying to solve it.
  • more ways to get data in and out
  • we will not be implementing CalDAV scheduling
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      CalDAV scheduling is just one aspect of CalDAV; see http://caldav.calconnect.org/standards.html
  • We’re not looking to be a cheaper alternative to Outlook/Exchange. This means we’re not investing in support for free/busy-style scheduling. We’re not looking to be the ‘everyman’s’ version of Microsoft Project or Bug and Ticket-Tracking systems. This means we’re not investing in support for complex task and project management, e.g. task dependencies, tracking percent done, time estimates, robust support for assigning tasks, etc. We’re also not going to be implementing the GTD methodology.
